Now I know, how it feels when you walk out that door Now I know,how it feels when you don't love me anymore I don't care if this is what is meant to be I don't care, as long as you come back to me
Oeee I have to But I don't want to I just have to (And I need to) Sing a little song for you Sing a little song,sing a little song for you
Now I know,how it feels when someone's givin up on you Now I know,how it feels when you don't care about the thinks I do I had hoped,hoped you would always be near But I'll go, go for whatever's meant to be
Oeee I have to But I don't want to I just have to (And I need to) Sing a little song for you Sing a little song, sing a little song for you
Oh listen than here's my voice Listen what I've got to say Other think than there's another choise But to sing my troubles away And try to live my life day after day I'm singin my troubles away And try to live my life day after day
Walk A Mile In My Shoes Composer(s): Joe South Performer(s): Elvis Presley
If I could be you, if you could be me For just one hour, if we could find a way To get inside each other's mind If you could see you through my eyes Instead your own ego I believe you'd be I believe you'd be surprised to see That you've been blind
Walk a mile in my shoes just walk a mile in my shoes Before you abuse, criticize and accuse Then walk a mile in my shoes
Now if we spend the day Throwin' stones at one another 'Cause I don't think, 'cause I don't think Or wear my hair the same way you do Well, I may be common people But I'm your brother And when you strike out You're tryin' to hurt me It's hurtin' you, Lord how mercy
Now there are people on reservations And out in the ghetto And brother there, but, for the grace of God Go you and I, If I only had wings of a little angel Don't you know, I'd fly To the top of a mountain And then I'd cry, cry, cry
A Song For You Composer(s): Gram Parsons First release by: Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris - 1972
Oh my land is like a wild goose Wanders all around everywhere Trembles and it shakes till every tree is loose It rolls the meadows and it rolls the nails So take me down to your dance floor And I wont mind the people when they stare Paint a different color on your front door And tomorrow we will still be there
Jesus built a ship to sing a song to It sails the rivers and it sails the tide Some of my friends don't know who they belong to Some can't get a single thing to work inside So take me down to your dance floor And I wont mind the people when they stare Paint a different color on your front door And tomorrow we will still be there
I loved you every day and now I'm leaving And I can see the sorrow in your eyes I hope you know a lot more than you're believing Just so the sun don't hurt ou when you cry So take me down to your dance floor And I wont mind the people when they stare Paint a different color on your front door And tomorrow we will still be there And tomorrow we will still be there
Wako-Shaman Composer(s): Miguel Bosé; Ross Cullum; Sandy McLelland; Andy Ross; Toulson-Clarke Performer(s): Miguel Bosé
Érase una vez un sabio que Dijo ser profeta y guardar El Secreto Poder Que quisieras tener Era el Gran Shaman
Era un mago de la tribu Babel Tigre-halcón en otra vida fue Y era el Hombre- sol Que entre el Bien y el mal Se hizo con la Verdad
Wako Shaman Háblame de otro mañana Wako Shaman Nueva Era cambiare Wako Shaman Todo el oro de mi alma
Leyó el Canto de los Pájaros Habló de algún camino Kármico... "Quién no quiera oír no se ha de salvar en la Hora Final...
Esta tierra así tan única que es dominio de los Bárbaros antes o después se tendrá que romper y no va a tardar..."
Por el Tótem Sagrado Mi promesa cumpliré A otros tiempos antiguos Viajaría, volvería Y con al Ciencia aprendida Madre Tierra déjame Que te cuide como sé Que te quiera como sé...
Y ante mil Burdos Babilónicos Como vino, desapareció Y el planeta tembló... Un gran fuego arrasó Con quien no quiso escuchar...
A Song For While I'm Away Composer(s): Phil Lynott Performer(s): Thin Lizzy
These words I wrote, play and sing to you Do not convey the love I brought and bring to you For this is a song for while I'm away To say all the things I'd love to say
You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true You're all I have Please heed me now these words I have to say
Now I'm headed for the border You see this song it ends right at the start I swore when I was younger No one would win my heart
And far away hills look greener still But soon they'll all slip away It's then I'll be returning And I'll be coming home to stay
You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true You're all I have Please heed me now these words I have to say
Wake Up, Irene
Composer(s): Weldon Allard; Johnny Hathcock
Performer(s): Hank Thompson;
The Maddox Brothers & Rose
For months and months and months around the country
Everybody sang Irene goodnight
But she wouldn't go to bed no matter what they said
Though everybody tried with all their might
She stayed awake while steel guitars were a going
In every honky-tonk she could be seen
But she finally went to bed and covered up her head
And now there's not a thing can wake Irene
Wake up Irene you've slept too long
Wake up Irene it's time to move along
Wake up Irene and pay for your bed
Wake up Irene or folks will think your dead
Lot's of guitar pickers by the dozen
Sang goodnight Irene all night and day
And even Crosby too with his bobobabobedo
Tried to get Irene to hit the hay
Well I guess they finally sang her off to slumber
They must have tried a million times or more
But oh my aching back when she finally hit the sack
Man you ought to hear that women snore
Wake up Irene you've slept too long
Wake up Irene it's time to move along
Wake up Irene and pay for your bed
Wake up Irene or folks will think your dead
Wake Up Sunshine
Composer(s): Robert Lamm
Performer(s): Chicago
Wake up sunshine
Open up your sleepy eyes for me
Can't have you hidin'
I've been waiting all the night
People waiting for the light
Sunshine, sunshine
Wake up sunshine
Let me feel your warm sunlight on me
Can't have you hidin'
Night was long and night was cold
But today we're one day older
Sunshine, you make my life sunshine
You know I'm talkin' to you
I know you're knowin' it too
So just stop hidin' your face
Just open your eyes
Just smile your smile
I'm talkin' to you
Wake up sunshine
Ooh, it's good to have you here with me
Can't have you hidin'
Can't imagine what I'd do
But feel too lonely without you
Sunshine, sunshine
You got to wake up girl
And face the day ahead
Song For Me Composer(s): Dave Cousins - Brian Willoughby Performer(s): Dave Cousins
Once I was a minstrel boy, I sang just like a bird I used to trade in memories, I relived every word But the galleries are empty now, the crowds have all gone home I locked away my songs, I sang them on my own I sang them on my own
Now those who walk behind me have heard it all before They knew the many reasons I screwed them like some whore Like jumped-up jacks of all trades they walked with fettered legs And wondered where the tent went when I pulled out all the pegs I pulled out all the pegs
This song is sung for me This song is sung for me This song is sung for me This song is sung for me This song is sung for me
The peaceful queen of platitudes sat resting on his throne His laurel wreath was slipping as he retrieved his buried bone Ah but I had got there sooner, I had chewed away the fat While he slept in the gutter, I slept on the mat I slept on the mat
This song is sung for me This song is sung for me This song is sung for me This song is sung for me This song is sung for me This song is sung for me This song is sung for me
Wake Up Little Susie
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant; Felice Bryant
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Weve both been sound asleep, wake up, little Susie, and weep
The movies over, its four oclock, and were in trouble deep
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well
What are we gonna tell your mama
What are we gonna tell your pa
What are we gonna tell our friends when they say 'ooh-la-la'
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well
I told your mama that youd be in by ten
Well Susie baby looks like we goofed again
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, we got to go home
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
The movie wasnt so hot, it didnt have much of a plot
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well
What are we gonna tell your mama
What are we gonna tell your pa
What are we gonna tell our friends when they say 'ooh-la-la'
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie
Song For Jeffrey Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Blodwyn Pig
Gonna lose my way tomorrow Gonna give away my car Id take you along with me But you would not go so far Dont see what I do not want to see You dont hear what I dont say Wont be what I dont want to be I continue in my way
Dont see, see, see where Im goin Dont see, see, see where Im goin Dont see, see, see where Im goin to I dont want to
Everyday I see the mornin come on in the same old way I tell myself tomorrow brings me things I would not dream today
Wake Up Everybody Composer(s): Victor Carstarphen; Gene McFadden
John Whitehead Performer(s): Harold Melvin
Wake up everybody no more sleepin' in bed No more backward thinkin' time for thinkin' ahead The world has changed so very much From what it used to be so there is so much hatred war an' poverty Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands when you teach the children teach 'em the very best you can
Chorus The world won't get no better if we just let it be The world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me
Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell But they don't have so very long before the Judgement Day So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away Wake up all the builders time to build a new land I know we can do it if we all lend a hand The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind Surely things will work out they do it every time
A Song For Europe Composer(s): Andy Mackay - Bryan Ferry First release by: Roxy Music - 1973 Covered by: Michaela Melián - 2004
Here as I sit At this empty cafe Thinking of you I remember All those moments Lost in wonder That we´ll never Find again Though the world Is my oyster It´s only a shell Full of memories And here by the Seine Notre-Dame casts A long lonely shadow Now - only sorrow No tomorrow There´s no today for us Nothing is there For us to share But yesterday
These cities may change But there always remains My obsession Through silken waters My gondola glides And the bridge - it sighs ... I remember All those moments Lost in wonder That we´ll never Find again There´s no more time for us Nothing is there For us to share But yesterdays
Ecce momenta Illa mirabilia Quae captabit In aeternum Memor Modo dolores Sunt in dies Non est reliquum Vero tantum Comminicamus Perdita Tous ces moments Perdus dans l`enchantement Qui ne reviendront Jamais Pas d´aujourd´hui pour nous Pour nous il n´y a rien À partager Sauf le passé
Wake Up Dolores
Composer(s): David Hidalgo; Louie Pérez
Performer(s): Los Lobos; Latin Playboys
My legs are tired
My face feels hot
Wake up Dolores
Please try to walk
Oh sacred night
Our lght is dim
We have so far to go
The stones are hard
On this endless road
Oh sacred night
On quetzal plumes
Of dying suns
And purple moons
Oh sacred night
As an eagle soars
Our spirits fly
To our gentle rest
Under loving sky
Oh sacred night
On quetzal plumes
Of dying suns
And purple moons
Oh sacred night
Ocuiltin
Moyacatla
Otlica
Auh in caltech
I would like to write a song That is so vibrant and so intimate That the earth would adopt it As if it had sprung like the stream From the land's memory As if no one had written it but life itself And my song would travel along From bird to wing, to tree To breeze to heart to breath to song Because a song belongs to everyone Like the spring
Wake Up And Make Love With Me
Composer(s): Ian Dury; Chas Jankel
Performer(s): Ian Dury; Los Fabulosos Cadillacs;
Sinéad O'Connor; Renauld
I come awake
With a gift for womankind
You're still asleep
But the gift don't seem to mind
Rise on this occasion
Halfway up your back
Sliding down your body
Touching your behind
You look so self-possessed
I won't disturb your rest
It's lovely when you're sleeping
But wide awake is best
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
I don't want to make you
I'll let the fancy take you
And you'll wake up and make love
You come awake
In a horny morning mood
And have a proper wriggle
In the naughty naked nude
Roll against my body
Get me where you want me
What happens next is private
It's also very rude
I'll go and get the post
And make some tea and toast
You have a lover's sleep, love
It's me that needs it most
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
I don't want to make you
I'll let the fancy take you
And you'll wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake The Town And Tell The People
Composer(s): Sammy Gallop; Jerry Livingston
Performer(s): Les Baxter;
and various other artists
Wake the town and tell the people
Sing it to the moon above
Wake the town and tell the people
Tell them that we're so in love (tell them that we're so in love)
Let's begin the celebration
Let's declare a holiday
Send the wedding invitation
To the neighbors right away
When you are close to me
And my heart is dancing with delight
I want the world to see
Heaven in my arms tonight
Shout it from the highest steeple
Ring the bells the whole night through
Wake the town and tell the people
Tell them I'm in love with you
I want the world to see
Heaven in my arms tonight
Shout it from the highest steeple
Ring the bells the whole night through
Wake the town and tell the people
Tell them I'm in love with you
I want the world to see
Heaven in my arms tonight
Shout it from the highest steeple
Ring the bells the whole night through
Wake the town and tell the people
Tell them I'm in love with you
(Wake the town and tell the people)
A Solid Bond In Your Heart Composer(s): Paul Weller Performer(s): The Jam; The Style Council
Feel is a word I can't explain At least not in words that are plain Make it easy to express But I'll try to do my best To hit you where it counts I just want to build up A solid bond in your heart (Yeah) A solid bond in your heart (Aha)
I'm fuelled by the idea That this world was made to share But it never seems to work out And all we seem to share Is doubt and misery Please let me try to build A solid bond in your heart heart
Aah, I just want to build up A solid bond in your heart heart It's what's missing from this life And the trust you need to ignite Any dream worth holding dear When that dream is so near
You gotta try and try to get it back Push it to the limit and build A solid bond in your heart
Wake Me, Shake Me
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller
Performer(s): The Coasters
Why don't you, wake me, shake me
Don't let me sleep too late
Gotta get up in the
About a quarter to eight
I'm bound to my job
My boss is a big fat slob
Can't even be a minute late
Or the boss'll blow his gate
Why don't you, wake me, shake me
Don't let me sleep too late
Gotta get up in the
About a quarter to eight
I'm bound to my garbage truck
My boss is a big fat slob
Can't even be a minute late
Or the boss'll blow his gate
Had a dream
